Joy Must Remain… Well, you can definitely hear an early British post-punk sound in the music but that's the tip of the iceberg when it comes to a very long list of many other influences on the band, so let us start at the beginning. Joy Must Remain was founded by Valentin on the outskirts of L.A. in 2005, mainly as a one man studio project. When asked about it, Val said: "I got into this by accident, just being a fan of music and certainly never imagined that I would be one of those people that create it".

After the digital Bandcamp release of Valentin’s first creation ‘Dive In Deep’ in 2010, Joy Must Remain quickly transformed into a working live band with the help from a number of long-time friends and other fellow musicians who would bring the music to life on stage, which currently include Gilbert on drums and Micheal on guitar.

The band and its music have been well received playing the club circuit and doing small independent festivals while also trying out new material in front of the audience. Iron Curtain is among the bands they performed with. Currently the band is working on a 4 song EP titled ‘A Place For People Like Us’ which should be released later on this year. Although much time is being spent in the studio, the band will also continue to do some shows during the recording process.
